Are you an experienced Linux sysadmin? If not perhaps re-consider your plan and look for cloud storage where everything is managed for you. If you are an experienced admin you could consider LVM instead of hardware-raid. Also, ZFS has huge advantages if your data is really critical. And like...

You do not seem to care about (recovering) your data. I would throw away the SSD. Then buy a 250GB SSD or even 120GB for your OS. That should be super cheap to find. Any SSD is better than no SSD. You can buy a larger one in the future if you need for games.

You can use the ISP box and route it into Proxmox with PFSense VM. Then have other VMs on isolated VLANs behind that.

So what might the red, green, blue, yellow.. wires do? Are those for when my phone company offers me a second (or third) phone line?

All phone cabling must go, except what is absolutely necessary for ADSL to terminate at this outlet. I will run new UTP Cat6 through the conduits. I just want to make sure I do not cut off too many wires and end up without ADSL.

Hi All, I want to replace all the phone cabling in the apartment. However, I want to make sure and leave the POTS from outside untouched. I just want to rip out all the other phone cabling that belongs to the apartment. View: https://imgur.com/a/3wU5V2T The image shows where ADSL is...

Kaspersky stands out to me as one of the better anti-virus software with a free option. I plan to continue using it, at least for now. I have it on a couple of systems at home. Having said this, your question had also entered my mind, and I plan to keep an ear out for any developments.

If they are rated for 3600Mhz /w XMP then you should be able to get a return or money back, or a discount coupon for your next purchase or something if you prefer that over sending them back.

I use Kaspersky Anti-Virus (the free version, not paid!). Echoing one of you: Chrome, VLC, 7 zip, CoreTemp (simple and works!), MSI Afterburner Then also Foxit PDF reader, MS Office. I also use WSL2 (Windows Subsystem Linux version 2). I also absolutely need Putty, Notepad++.

The CPU and GPU are quite decent. Motherboard limits your maximum memory. Upgrade memory as high as you can. If you need more, consider a new PC and move CPU / GPU as needed. The PSU is kind of low wattage to be adding much of anything else.

I added an RTX Super 2060 to a 550W tier B/C/D PSU system and it would not even boot up. I replaced the PSU with a better one at 650W Tier A and it booted. You may want to consider what to do if your system will not boot at all, regardless of power-limits.

Agreed, yes just a little worried about wearing out (through over-spinning) my two little Noctua CPU fans. Maybe I will just completely remove them or move them out of the way of the case fan, or at least one of them. Then I can keep that one as a spare for when/if the other one dies.

I want to cool the motherboard and DIMMs next to the CPU as well, as well as blow air length-wise across the motherboard all the way to the back.

Temperatures are 51ish with two CPU fans and one front intake fan. Temperatures are 52 with the back CPU fan and front case fan. The temperature is 54 with just the two CPU fans, no front case fan.

Air is all blowing in one direction, front to back.
